When Summer Fades Away

[Main story complete. Slowly working on the extras ^_^]

Also known as Who Wants This Top Student Boyfriend? Take Him Away, How About Falling for Your Teacher During Tutoring?, and I'm Just an Art Student, Please Leave Me Alone.

When Chen Zhao saw Song Xia suddenly appear in front of her, she thought she had finally gone crazy.

Then she realized she was seeing a ghost. Really seeing a ghost.

Chen Zhao: "..."

Then she asked Song Xia what she had to do to make him disappear and stop haunting her alone.

Song Xia: "According to the basic rules of paranormal fiction, you should help me fulfill a wish."

Unable to refuse, Chen Zhao asked what his wish was.

At first, Song Xia said, "You have to help me figure out why I turned into a ghost."

After all kinds of twists and turns, the misunderstanding from the beginning was cleared up. Chen Zhao and Song Xia, who was still very much present, stared at each other.

Song Xia: "...Looks like my wish is for you to get into Peking University."

Chen Zhao: "Get lost."

After countless nights under the desk lamp, Chen Zhao would pound the table and regret ever picking up Song Xia's notebook, after he forced her to face another difficult solid geometry problem.

Chen Zhao's life had been sliding downhill in a straight line, but after she picked up Song Xia's notebook, it reached a turning point.

*Turning point: A point where monotonicity changes on either side.

A socially anxious, sharp-tongued underachiever heroine vs. a foul-mouthed, long-suffering top student ghost boy

Updates every other day.

A story about a teenage girl and a teenage boy ghost. No kissing in the main story.

No art students are harmed in this story, and it does not look down on art students in any way.

One-on-one romance from beginning to end, happy ending.

Check out my upcoming Quick Transmigration story, The Scumbag Eradication Plan. I've learned my lesson and won't start until I've got 100,000 words in the bank! Probably launching in late March! Daily updates!

[Blurb]

"This is driving me absolutely crazy!"

Lin Xingguo just liked staying up late to read stories. Then one day, she accidentally clicked on a novel full of all her personal dealbreakers.

A cheating, spineless mama's boy, a forced romance with a substitute for the white moonlight that torments the heroine...

She got so angry reading it that her blood pressure shot up!

Then the consequences of staying up night after night caught up with her.

She died suddenly.

And got bound to a System.

The idiot System claimed, "Men aren't going to be as wonderful as you imagine."

"Next, you'll transmigrate into novels full of all your dealbreakers, and you won't be free until you can tolerate every one of those tropes."

"That's just how reality is!"

Oh, give me a break!

Lin Xingguo refused to compromise on any of her dealbreakers, and began secretly making trouble right under the System's nose.

A womanizing boss who asks his secretary for sex every day, then blames the heroine for turning him into a manwhore. Dealbreaker!

Go say that to my resignation letter and slap!

A lying classmate who loses his brain the moment he meets a sweet, innocent girl, then tricks the heroine into taking the blame for him. Dealbreaker!

Go say that to my call to the police!

Next up: a man who's a mute wimp when it comes to feelings, a selfish gold-digger, a dim-witted wife-beater...

Lin Xingguo: "All scumbags, get out of this world!"

[Reader's Guide]

* The heroine's name comes from the saying, "Do what you say, and see it through." If she says something is a dealbreaker, then it is a dealbreaker! No exceptions!

* A Quick Transmigration anthology. The heroine never falls for anyone and there is no pairing, but because she transmigrates into BG romance stories full of outrageous, angsty tropes, there will be scumbags and male side characters with one-sided crushes on her.

* There are no original hosts. These worlds are all created by the System specifically for the heroine.

* All the dealbreakers are ones the author feels are fairly common. One reader may enjoy a trope while another may not. Let's agree to disagree and go with the majority. ^^

* The blurb has been screenshotted and archived.
